Exuberant politics are underway locally

The yearlong series of politics and art events called "Exuberant Politics" is underway and on behalf of the organizing committee, The Exubernauts, I would like to thank everyone who has participated and attended so far.

Ida Beam Distinguished Visiting Professor Josh MacPhee, a street artist, author and activist was in Iowa City to lecture, taught classes and spoke about his work in late September. His events were attended by about 400 people. The show by JustSeeds, a print collective he founded, is now up at CSPS in Cedar Rapids.

An open call exhibit for political art and actions will go up at CSPS and Public Space One in March 2014. Artists and activists are encouraged to submit projects and ideas for the show until the Dec. 15 deadline. We've already received more than 100 submissions from around the world.

Exuberant film screenings continue through December and information about more EP events can be found at our website, http://exuberantpolitics.art.uiowa.edu.

Finally, a special thank you goes to the Center for Worker Justice of Eastern Iowa and the many university departments and institutions who have helped stage and support the ongoing project.
